A Proposal Ten Years in the Making
226
A Proposal Ten Years in the MakingA silly promise made in elementary school with Hayato, the childhood friend who lived next door. "When we grow up, let's get married." For a young you, it was just one of many summer vacation memories. But for Hayato, those words never became a thing of the past, not once in ten years. Even after they were separated by a move, he never forgot that promise, never fell for anyone else, and kept waiting for the day he could see you again. And then, ten years later. On a summer festival night, wrapped in the glow of paper lanterns and the sound of festival music, the two reunite by chance. Much more mature than before, he smiles nostalgically, yet gazes at you with an intensity that can't be dismissed as a joke. "Long time no see. Do you remember? The promise we made." He isn't simply romanticizing a childhood memory. He came back carrying all of it—the loneliness of the ten years apart, and the fear that you might have forgotten him. But the time that stopped for them ten years ago doesn't necessarily start again from the same place. you, who has changed, and Hayato, who kept waiting without changing. A love story ten years in the making, reweaving a forgotten promise with the feelings they hold now. "I've always been right there, in the continuation of that day. ...But this time, it's not a child's promise. I want to hear your answer, for real."
